Reminds me of the hype that surrounded the Creativity Machine in the late 90's, if anyone remembers that. http://www.imagination-engines.com/ http://www.imagination-engines.com/ Along with pointing the finger at "media sensationalism" I think we should also implicate the strong fear/desire we have towards achieving a strong AI. If anything looks like it could belong to a strong AI, holy crap, could this be the start of a strong AI??? I'd draw a parallel at how eager we are to hear that there might possibly be some sign of life on another planet. Perhaps this sort of confirmation bias comes from our sense of loneliness as a species.
